You simply "place" new stuff in that storage. The "previous"
non-POD stuff doesn't exist anymore (as soon as you've placed
some other {sub-}object in that storage) as far as C++ is
concerned. AFAICS, you can have char "copies", but you just
can't use your bunch of copied chars to "revive" evaporated
non-POD stuff.
